It was the coaching staff that brought Kaycee Anoliefo to Laurier. “The coaching staff is friendly, smart and amazing,” he said. “They were able to turn around a program from a losing tradition to a winning one.”
The 5’11, 200lbs Hamilton Varsity Tiger-Cat (OFC) added that he also chose the school for its academic achievement and smaller campus.
Entering his third year with the Tiger-Cats, he also spent a year with the Hamilton Ironmen in the OVFL. Hailing from Hamilton, Ontario, his high school team was the St. Mary’s Crusaders (Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic Athletic Association).
